This video shows how furniture can be built using green technology (Zipblocks). Zipblocks are green for several reasons. 1) The biggest reason that they are green is simply because you can use them over and over again. If you get tired of what you built, just take it apart and build something else. In this sensetheir value never diminishes. 2)They create zero waste during construction. When you cut Zipblocks in two you dont create waste you only create two smaller blocks! 3)They can be made out of sustainable resources. The ones illustrated in this video were made out of wood. In this video we demonstrate the assembly/disassembly of a small planter box that has a somewhat fancy design. We chose to make it small and somewhat fancy so that we could demonstrate this building systems ability to effortlessly morph into almost any geometric shape. We get a lot of requests for Zipblocks and/or Zipblock pricing. Unfortunately we have not found a manufacturer to make them out of wood yet so we dont have any to sell and we dont have any exact pricing. Despite this, we do have an idea as to what they may cost when they do become available. The blocks in this movie were made out of cabinet-grade plywood. A sheet of this plywood runs around $33 at your local home supply center. You can easily create 333 two inch Zipblocks from a sheet of this plywood. This means that each two inch Zipblocks costs $33/333 = 10 cents. The blocks used to create the planter box ranged from 2 to 6 cubes …
